Germany vs Bosnia & Herzegovina – Match Preview and Team News | OneFootball

Germany host Bosnia and Herzegovina in the penultimate round of the Uefa Nations League group stage on Saturday evening.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side are already guaranteed a top two finish in League A Group 3 and progression to the quarter-finals, allowing the manager room to experiment with his starting XI.

The Bosnians, meanwhile, need to win both of their final matches to have any chance of avoiding the wooden spoon and relegation to League B. A mighty task, indeed.
